Understanding the Impact of the Foods We Eat

The New Season in my life…

The new season in my life happened in a split second with my husband’s sudden aortic aneurism in 2018. He miraculously survived, throwing us both into immediate and unplanned retirement.

  • It turned out it was the best thing that ever happened to us (after the shock wore off). We sold our home and moved to within a mile of my daughter, which, lucky for us, was also a mile’s walk to the beach. (Hence all my references to “navigating the waters”!)

  • It was mostly a happy time because my husband survived without complications, we were living near my daughter and by the beach, I didn’t have 3 hours of commuting every day, and well, it was nice.

Old approaches wouldn’t work….

But I knew for myself, as a life-long dieter, the usual diets and same-old same-old approaches would no longer work.

  • I no longer had a work schedule where my meals were on time and planned. I didn’t know on Sunday what I would eat on Friday. I had loads of candy and cookies in the house (because well, you know, grandchildren). My chef husband had nothing to do all day but grocery shop and cook, so my fridge, freezer and pantry were loaded with food I couldn’t finish in a month. My mother had just passed away at the age of 104, and I was left with that grief, and sorting through all her things.

  • BUT, I had to scramble and find a whole new strategy for eating and not gaining weight. I also had to continue with the weight loss journey I was already on. I had to do it without frenzy, craziness, or unsustainable diets.

How this course came about…

  • I started learning about finding sustainable eating styles - instead of a strict diet. I tried all the programs that dealt mostly with mindset, but offered no guidance with nutrition. What does it even mean to “eat what you love and love what you eat?” I needed some education to have an eating style be sustainable. Going with feelings, or weighing and measuring, or even the hunger scale like I teach you, wasn’t enough.

  • And so, that’s how Understanding the Impact of the Foods We Eat, came about. I learned about things that regular diets don’t teach you, like how no amount of exercise will get rid of belly fat, or how carbohydrates are hidden in practically all foods we eat, and what does this have to do with anything anyway? It became my mission to share that with other women who felt “broken” because they were doing everything they were supposed to be doing but still never lost weight.

The five modules in this course will teach you what you need to have a new respect and understanding for the food you eat. Once you incorporate some of what you will learn in this course, you will start to break free from the diet prison of always weighing and measuring your food because you will be free from the shackles of “slippery slope foods” - those containing large amounts of sugars and grains. As I have been promising you, you can lose weight without losing your mind. Learn to be good to yourself and find the results you have been dreaming of!

1. Carb Clarity: Revealing Hidden Carbohydrates

  • This module shows you where carbs are hiding and how they add up, which is important no matter what plan you are following.

  • Learn the categories of carbs, the difference between simple and complex carbs, and how they are used for energy, but that you don’t need as many as you think.

  • Even if you are not eating in a low-carb style, learn that it is important to make informed and careful decisions.

2. Cracking the Code: Conquering Stubborn Belly Fat

  • Understand the role insulin plays in how you feel. Are you tired or hungry all the time? Identify risk factors for insulin resistance.

  • Explore why you can’t seem to lose stubborn belly fat no matter how much exercise you do. The problem is inherent in your master hormone, insulin.

  • Not all fat is created equal and your goal is not to have zero body fat, and it is important to understand its purpose.

3. But I LOVE Sugar: Demystifying Sugar and Baked Goods Dependency

  • Learn about the brain’s response to sugar and understand the body’s reward system and cycle of sugar dependency.

  • Explore the reasons why you want sugar, beyond the feel-good hit. There are habit and emotional components as well, to wanting sugar and baked goods.

  • You are doing exactly what your brain has been designed to do. You are working perfectly! You just need a little help.

4. Grains and Legumes Decoded for Balanced Nutrition

  • Learn about grain and legumes in this module. Yes, there are many benefits to eating whole grains and legumes, but there is another side to the story.

  • There is a place for grains and legumes in a well-rounded diet but learn what to do if you have to eat a specialized diet, such as if you have gluten intolerance.

  • Learn about the role grains and legumes play in heart health, weight management, and inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

5. BONUS MODULE

Family-Friendly Cooking and Eating Out without Grains and Legumes

  • If your family is from a culture that relies heavily on grains and legumes, do not despair. Get ideas for meals and how to search websites for what you need.

  • There is no need for you to cook two meals. Build a foundation of nutritional knowledge with the family about food choices and encourage support and respect for the way you are choosing to eat for yourself.
